My Rockytop Gardens catalog arrived yesterday, and I wasn't planning to order from them this year but they have some really great prices on some of the irises I want to get. I'm still waiting for Joe Ghio's catalog, but I'm thinking I'll also order from Rockytop again this year. They send big fantastic rhizomes with many increases and TONS of bonus plants -- and you can give them suggestions as to what you'd like for bonus plants too! They have their general listings divided into Sections 1 and 2 this year, and they will be discontinuing many of the plants in Section 2 after this year so they can make room for next year's newbies, and the prices in Section 2 seem really good.
For every new introduction you order (and they're all $45) they'll give you another as a bonus, and you can suggest what you'd like. Then for every $60 you order from irises other than their new introductions you get one of their last year's introductions as a bonus, and you can pick which one(s) you want. And then, in addition to all that, they also give you additional bonus plants to equal the value of your order from other than new introductions! And you can make suggestions there too. What a deal! I think this would be great for a gardener just starting out with irises and wanting to get some of the newer irises without having to spend a small fortune!
